YOU MANIFEST WHAT YOU BELIEVE

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
Isaiah 53:1 (KJV)
Today, I have come to ask you: Whose report do you believe? Do you believe you are who God says you are? Do you believe that His promises are yours? Or do you believe what situations and challenges are happening to you? Believing in defeat, failure, and lack does not require faith. You do not need faith to be afraid because they are more often in line with your experience. However, faith is required to believe in God for victory. You need faith to believe in God for your healing and your provisions. The Bible says, “They shall live by faith.” And faith pleases God.
Beloved, whatever you believe is what will manifest. So, to know what you believe, check your life and discover what is manifesting. Our text above tells us clearly what it takes for the arm of the Lord to be revealed. Believe the report of the Lord! You cannot go on believing wrongly and expect good things to be made manifest. No! It does not work that way! I know there may be difficulties and challenges facing you, but in the midst of these, you must hold on to what God’s Word says. Even in the face of contradictory evidence, you are who God says you are. You have what He says you have and can do what He says you can do. Your part is not to know how it will happen; your part is to believe what He says, and He will figure out how to bring it to pass.
In Luke 1:38, Mary said, ‘I don’t know how this would happen, but be it unto me, according to your Word.’ What will you believe, and what will you say about the days ahead of you? Do not forget that you will have what you say! And it is what you believe that will manifest in your life! I urge you, therefore, not to believe the lies of the devil.
